Capability that adapts when conditions change.

Sky-Watch delivers frontline-ready ISTAR capabilities that help frontline units see, understand, act and adapt under pressure.

Operational capability

See. Understand. Act. Adapt.

Across the portfolio, Sky-Watch connects UAV platforms, Zentra sensor payloads, distributed mission intelligence and Mission Software into one operational capability built to remain usable as missions, threats and conditions change.

01

See.

Capture usable mission data at the sensor edge. Zentra Sensor Suite collects, stabilizes and enhances EO, IR and EO/IR input close to where data is captured. Operators maintain visibility as conditions change.

02

Understand.

Process mission data closer to the operation. Distributed mission intelligence brings processing closer to Zentra Sensor Suite and RQ UAV platforms. It structures mission data faster, reduces manual scanning and lowers bandwidth load.

03

Act.

Move from observation to operational workflow. Mission Software turns processed mission data into AI-assisted mission workflows for mission control, target handoff, RECCE STRIKE, Call for Fire, reporting and C4I integration. The operator stays in control.

04

Adapt.

Evolve the capability as conditions change. Add new AI models, mission applications and third-party integrations over time, so the capability keeps pace with changing threats and requirements.

From sensor input to operational action.

Sky-Watch RQ-35 Heidrun — sensor, edge compute and mission software in one operational chain

One connected mission chain. AI-assisted processing and distributed mission intelligence move sensing, processing and workflows closer to the tactical edge, so intelligence moves faster from collection to action.

  • Sensor inputCapture mission data at the edge. Zentra payloads capture, stabilize and enhance EO, IR and EO/IR input close to where mission data is collected. Operators get clearer input earlier in the workflow.
  • Edge processingProcess closer to the mission. Distributed edge compute across the sensor and UAV brings processing closer to the operation. It reduces latency, lowers bandwidth load and keeps mission outputs usable when connectivity is limited or signals degrade.
  • Distributed mission intelligenceStructure what matters faster. Distributed mission intelligence moves sensing, processing and workflows closer to the tactical edge. It helps operators cut through data overload and work from mission-relevant understanding faster.
  • Adaptive AIAdapt as missions and threats change. Add new AI models and mission applications over time. Keep the capability aligned with changing operational requirements beyond initial deployment.
  • Mission workflowsTurn data into action. Mission Software turns processed mission data into AI-assisted mission workflows for mission control, target handoff, RECCE STRIKE, Call for Fire, reporting and C4I integration. The operator stays in control.
  • C4I integrationMove intelligence where decisions are made. Connect mission-relevant intelligence to compatible tactical applications, networks and C4I systems. Help units share awareness, coordinate action and keep intelligence moving across the mission network.
Mission profiles

Move intelligence where decisions are made.

Sky-Watch supports the missions where ISTAR has to keep moving — from immediate tactical awareness to target acquisition, persistent surveillance and resilient operation under pressure.

Tactical awareness — operator establishing real-time awareness close to contact
01

Tactical awareness

Establish real-time awareness close to contact.

Target acquisition — operator with ATAK device in forest setting
02

Target acquisition

Shorten the path from detection to handoff.

Persistent surveillance — operator at edge of treeline maintaining awareness
03

Persistent surveillance

Maintain awareness across larger areas and longer mission windows.

Resilient ISTAR — operators planning under contested conditions
04

Resilient ISTAR

Keep mission outputs usable when signals degrade, bandwidth is constrained and conditions deteriorate.
